A trip into the mind of one of Hollywood’s greatest stars, Bette Davis Ain’t For Sissies is a powerful one-woman show starring Jessica Sherr. Taking place on the night of the 1939 Academy Awards, Davis finds out that she will lose the Oscar to Vivien Leigh, so she decides to leave the ceremony. What follows is an internal dialogue of Davis’ memories, filled with historically accurate details and piercing insight into the struggle of the actress who wouldn’t fit into the mold of the stereotypical Hollywood ingenue. An official selection at the 15th Annual New York Fringe Festival, this is a spirited portrayal of a box-office icon and powerful woman.
